    Surely this won’t block lots of legitimate users, while simultaneously being trivially easy to bypass by submitting a picture of literally anyone.

      But it’s so much more than that. It’s a privacy nightmare in general and a boon for anyone interested in blackmail.

      Totally gonna work this time though.

      Such a complicated series of tubes, ye olde internet.

        Or alternatively send a dick pic, if they are underage, now they’re in possession of child porn, congrats you played yourself.

            I swear I’ve read a similar headline a while ago of some teen being charged for that, because they sent nude selfies of themselves.

              That is where I got the (fucked up) idea from.

              IIRC: In USA. Teen sent nude pic to his girlfriend, both 16. He was charged with distributing child porn and put on a sex offender register for life.

                    Neither is a teen freely sending a nude selfie of themselves to their teen SO.
                    Many family photo albums feature naked kids in various stupid situations that were just thought to be cute and funny at the time, which would nowadays melt peoples brains if they’d hear about it, and certainly would fall under the same laws that would punish the teen in the other example.
